Chapter 228: The Followers
Haizhou's actions were very fast, and after Cheng Qian got the money, he soon began a large-scale disaster relief, and the Dinghai Navy was established in advance, and the news of accepting the victims was spread one after another.
For the poor, even if there is only the last straw, this is probably the best news for them, they can finally rest assured that they are no longer rootless.
The 5,000 people in Haizhou were the happiest, because they had a job directly, and it only took 7 days to prepare for completion, and they came to Yuntai Mountain Island by boat one after another.
Zhao Xin was not idle in the past few days, and made a complete plan for the entire construction, and these people arrived almost at the same time as the escorts.
After waiting for almost 20 days, the escort army that traveled by water and land finally arrived, and Zhao Xin could also start making money and accepting the Xiang army.
According to the will given by the center, the craftsmen would gather in the Daimyo's mansion, and they needed to go to receive them in batches, and as for the Xiang army, they needed to go to the military camp of the Xiang army to receive it in person.
There will be local personnel in charge of the box army, who will come to count the number to ensure that each box army is in place, and at the same time, do not carry all kinds of weapons.
Manpower, where other officials in this era, looks very inconspicuous, but in Zhao Xin's view, it is a very considerable wealth, for a little bit of money, Cheng Qian gave hundreds of thousands of manpower to Zhao Xin, which will be very critical to Zhao Xin's construction plan.
As a traverser, with a card system, he has a lot of whimsical ideas, what kind of factory design, if there is not enough manpower, so put them into reality, as for making money, for the subordinate, the private economy and the Northern Song Dynasty is very developed, money is not a problem at all.
A salt can allow the Northern Song Dynasty to obtain enough funds, more than 10 million yuan a year, what else is he worried about, from the perspective of future generations, salt is only the most inconspicuous, can sugar, cloth, and even get out of the bank, deposit and exchange, can solve the financial problems of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There is no need to say that it is reform, as Wang Anshi did, but in fact, it is from the common people and the rich households to take out the money raw, which eventually creates a large number of conservatives.
Even people like Han Qi, who supported the new law, eventually became conservatives and became Wang Anshi's biggest resistance, not to mention others.
To put it bluntly, the current problem of the Northern Song Dynasty is just an economic deficit caused by insufficient taxation and too high spending, in fact, most of the wealth created by the Northern Song Dynasty has been extinguished and used, as long as the sand is gathered into a tower and more things that are conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood, the biggest problem can be solved.
The Xiang Army is to take over, and before receiving the Xiang Army, the entire Yuntai Mountain Island needs to be guarded by the Escort.
Zhao Xin needed the Xiang Army, mainly the prime labor of the Xiang Army, not to arm the Xiang Army as a tool for defense.
Compared with the unfamiliar van army, which has no weapons and is extremely poorly trained, even if they have weapons, they are only a group of stronger peasants, let alone have no weapons. In fact, the protector is even more favored by Zhao Xin.
After large-scale training, coupled with participation in the encirclement station of Miaojiazhuang, and the subsequent battles, these regimental training is no longer the kind of farmers who have put down their heads and just picked up arms, especially the siege of Baozhou, as well as the experience of being an instructor of the forbidden army, so that their spiritual growth is very high, perhaps there is a big difference with the real march, at the level of the longbow team, it is already a very good kind, and it can be taken out alone to form an army.
Zhao Xin trusted the Protectors even more, not only because of their combat effectiveness, but because of their trust.
By chance, when he was looking through the combat system of the cards, he found the data of loyalty, and he knew why Sun Ji and others obeyed him, in terms of loyalty, Sun Ji and others were more than 9 into 7, surpassing the ninety into five belonging to Renzong, it can be said that if he and Renzong both issued a normal order, Sun Ji would obey Zhao Xin's order more.
In fact, more than ninety out of five is already quite loyal, unlike the completely unconditional commitment of the dead, but there will be no rebellion.
Zhao Xin faintly felt that those who were still poor in loyalty of 9 to 7 were probably the result of Renzong's conflict with Zhao Xin, and he had no way to order Sun Ji to attack Renzong.
This is also normal, an absolutely loyal subordinate belonging to Renzong was brought into his hands and became his person, which in itself is already very terrifying, not to mention that they want to make them attack the old people, people with a little ability and integrity will not do this, even if they have already taken refuge in Zhao Xin.
There is no conflict between Renzong and Zhao Xin, and the purpose of both sides is the same, that is, to make the Northern Song Dynasty better, and even let Zhao Xin accumulate strength and eventually inherit the emperor's throne.
This point can not be carried out in a year or two, it will take five or even ten years, and at that time, Renzong will be in his forties and fifties, and in the later stage of his reign, he will slowly hand over and there will be no conflict because of power.
In addition to the very high loyalty of the guards to Zhao Xin, in the card system, the overall loyalty of Miaojiazhuang is more than 8 percent, and the team training has reached 9 into five, of which the minimum is 100%, and those newly attached villagers, their loyalty is also more than 7 percent.
Put these people who are loyal to him, get to Haizhou, not to mention that they can't create value, let's say that the safety has greatly increased, this part of the people is a lot, one after another increased to about 14,000 people, in Miaojiazhuang for such a long time, especially after Han Qi entered Baozhou, Miaojiazhuang resumed production, their labor, or gradually used in all aspects of production, or skilled workers, they will gradually lay the foundation for the development of the navy.
After handing over to the guards, leaving Quyang here, he will command 800 guards to maintain the safety of the entire Yuntaishan Island, and the person in charge of the workshop will also arrive at the same time, he will follow the experience of Miaojiazhuang to mine various minerals on Yuntaishan Island, establish cement kilns and brick kilns, and prepare for large-scale production.
The first batch of 5,000 people has arrived, and another 15,000 will arrive in the next month or so.
20,000 people plus craftsmen may spend more than 2,000 yuan per day, plus the cost of building the city, it is urgent to make money.
Hurry up, the speed of going back, much faster than when he came, even when passing by the Daimyo's Mansion, he didn't go to the Daimyo's Mansion to take a look, the Daimyo's Mansion may have a certain potential to be tapped, but it is not very big, he has already determined the workshop that will be opened on a large scale, but when he passed by the Daimyo's Mansion, he told Wang Song that around the Daimyo's Mansion, it doesn't need to be in the city, as long as it is a place where water transportation is developed, find a place that is large enough to establish an iron-smelting workshop.
The city is too expensive, there is no so-called real estate in the Northern Song Dynasty, but as one of the four capitals, the business and trade exchanges are very developed, the square market in the city, maybe there are small shops, large-scale, the minimum output is hundreds, or even thousands of tons of iron smelting center, I am afraid that the sum up, than the Daimyo's mansion is larger.
He can be on a blank piece of paper, calligraphy and painting belong to the picture scroll of the times, and he can't stop for a moment, he must quickly arrive at Miaojiazhuang, and ask, how many people in Miaojiazhuang are with him.
Miao Yuan was a little hesitant at this moment, when Zhao Xin left, he arranged this matter to him, for the Chinese people, it is difficult to leave the homeland, no matter how bad the home is, it is also a harbor, a place that can accommodate the body and mind, and if you leave home rashly, you will get something in the end, unless you can change your fate.
Not everyone is a protector, and the one who causes them all to leave is to change from regimental training to a forbidden army, and to become a forbidden army, they must be restrained and managed by others.
Miao Yuan himself is not willing to leave, he has lived in Miaojiazhuang all his life, from the moment he was born, he has been here, for more than thirty years, he has never left, and now he may be leaving, and he is very panicked.
But Miao Yuan knew that he had to leave, everything in Miaojiazhuang was left by Zhao Xin, if Zhao Xin took it away, what was left in Miaojiazhuang, was it still farming?
Even if it is only a few short months, Miaojiazhuang is like a long knowledge, constantly changing, half of the people, each contract can earn about 3 salaries, which in the past, often a forbidden army income, can feed a family appetite.
Now what will happen if Zhao Xin leaves with everything? At the very least, this income is definitely gone, Miao Yuan is familiar with it, no matter how generous Zhao Xin is, it is impossible to make the money-making valve completely public, you know, even in Miaojiazhuang, when the steamed buns and even the soap business are at their most prosperous, the final secret recipe has not been exposed, which is a key point.
This may be one of Zhao Xin's control methods, and in the end, Miao Ding has to tell you about it. In the end, when it came to the result, Miao Yuan was surprised, not many people objected, but the vast majority of people directly agreed.
After learning about it, I found out that these people in Miaojiazhuang have mythologized Zhao Xin, and have been carved into everyone's hearts, knowing that Miao Yuan is about to go elsewhere and ask for their opinions, the vast majority of people are willing, and the family members of the group training, at least the immediate family, only the families of 5 people are unwilling, and the others are willing.
The vast majority of close relatives agreed, and there was a certain differentiation among the family members of some distant group exercises, and it was impossible for everyone to be willing to leave their hometowns to follow Zhao Xin to a strange place, especially some people, and Zhao Xin did not have much contact, and under the premise that Baozhou was hit hard and the situation in Baozhou would gradually improve, there were less than 6,000 people who finally went
There are 2,800 people in Miaojiazhuang, and there are less than 6,000 family members, so to speak, basically, close to 8,500 people, this number is much more than Zhao Xin thought before.
